As i have used the xerox dell and Hp Printers, i think u can go for HP... --HP have 1 year(Free) Replacement warranty for all hardware including the rollers and fusors.....U can opt for extended warrant of 2 yrs more 4 35$$ more --Now I know u must have a printer on each floor......I would suggest the best way...I think u have a Computer network in the building.Do u have a Wireless Router??? If u donot have get a linksys router. Then install HP wireless printer on each floor.Using the router u can connect all the printers and the computers wirelessly .no wires attached. --The printers i have suggested r all colour.and using Hp software u can set permission for each computer to print. --The model am Reffereing to is a PhotoSmart C6180...print scan copy and Fax....This have a new ink technology which uses 6 different ink cartridges fort better quality.....these ink cartridges are cheap too.......or if I should note that I work at UNC-Chapel Hill so we have quite a robust enterprise level network. Please direct your primary responses to the CP 4005 and not other HP printers, though some general information is ok too.

HP printer detects refilled color ink cartridge (msg. on screen) & print quality is bad. Have they screwed us? I bought a store-brand (refilled) color ink cartridge for my HP Officejet (7310xi All-in-One). When I installed it the screen gave a message saying "HP Ink Depleted from Cartridge" (specifically HP ink!). Obviously HP has put a smart chip in their cartridges to detect when "their" ink is depleted, meaning that it knows the cartridge has been refilled. When I tried to print anything in color with that cartridge, the colors were screwed (mostly green). The message and poor print quality were both true on two different printers. So, this may just be a bad cartridge, and I will find out when I exchange it. But... I'm wondering... does anyone know if HP has intentionally programmed their printers to NOT work with refilled cartridges, thus screwing us all and forcing us to by their own ridiculously overpriced cartridges?

Should it be able to handle big filesizes? Thanks!

How much does it cost to make copies from a home color printer? HP Printer? I bought some school zone books from my son.. he's only 4 years old, and I've been copying the pages instead of letting him do the work in the book.... but then I started thinking? Is it cheaper to just let him use the book and buy a new one later, than it is to copy the pages for him to work on? The books cost about $3.50 and have 64 pages in them, so that makes them about $0.06 or $0.07 cents each, I think? I can't remember the exact cost I bought the books for. I'm thinking of the cost of colored ink, paper and running the computer... what is the general breakdown of a color copy made at home? I guess I could probably figure that much out myself? lol! But what do you think? Should I copy or just let him use the book?

What is the difference between HP Photo ink (#99) and HP Color Ink (#95) Cartridges? I have a Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart D5069 printer. I need to print my digital artwork out for use in my portfolio. Unfortunately I can't afford to have my work professionally printed and need to do it all on my home printer. So now I'm trying to figure out which color cartridge would give me the best results possible, the HP #95 color cartridge or the HP #99 Photo cartridge? I can only afford to buy one black cartridge and then either the photo (99) or the color(95.) So does anyone personally have experience with both of these cartridges and which of the 2 produce the best image quality? If it helps I'm printing artwork that was made entirely in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. A lot of the work contains a wide range of colors and subtle gradients. I'll also be using Glossy HP Advanced Photo Paper to print each one. Thanks in advance!
